    THE FLATS (April 28, 2023) – Keion White (Garner, N.C./Garner H.S.) became Georgia Tech's highest National Football League Draft pick in 11 years when the New England Patriots selected the Yellow Jackets' defensive end with the 15th pick of the second round (No. 46 overall) of the 2023 NFL Draft...

    I agree. Key has a lifetime job if he wants it and can produce 7-9 wins consistently. Maybe even an occasional 10 or 11-win season with the right combination of players. Of course, we'll have the occasional 6-6 year, too. So, win the conference and get an automatic bid. That's our Ticket to...

    It's almost as if the SEC and the B1G are being granted some sort of premier status while the ACC and the Big 12 are in a second-tier category... :unsure: What if teams moved up or down from based on their actual W-L records each year? Seems like that would make EVERY game count and not just...

    Yep. I was editing along those lines while you were replying. See above.

    Who's the motivated team? Georgia beating FSU proves nothing. So what? You still lost to Bama. FSU beating Georgia: "See? We belonged, and we are STILL undefeated." Problem is, I'm not sure FSU wins this game.

    To use a poor comparison that still grieves me: Back in MY day and for a decade or two after, you had a pretty hard time getting into Alexander Memorial Coliseum. Today, not even the Duke game sold out. What's changed? Winning.

    I had that exact thought yesterday. And I contend that Harvard's alumni enjoy tailgating as much as the average GT fan. But promotion/relegation adds a dimension to EVERY regular season game that is largely lacking today: meaning.

    Why do some schools get jacked up over their women's basketball programs? It's just basketball "light" - a slower version of the men's game without all the dunking.

    An Open Letter to J Batt

    I hope that he has an opportunity to discuss the idea with PAC and other AD's and that it gains momentum as more and more people begin to kick it around. I expect to receive a nice note on "From the Desk of" letterhead thanking me for sharing my thoughts and for my continued support of the...

    An Open Letter to J Batt

    [Sent via email to J Batt and his admin, Jacki Agee.] J- I'm writing on behalf of a growing number of Tech fans who are fed up with the current state of college football - not at Tech - but across the nation. As if the NIL and transfer portal were not enough cause for concern about the status...

    Have I ever mentioned the English Football League System? For the first year, the SEC and the B1G go into the premier league (as their memberships currently stand). The ACC and the Big 12 would go into the Championship League. Another 32 schools go into in League One and another 32 in League...

    Understood, but the CFP would have put in Bama or Texas over FSU in that scenario, also. The CFP committee just declared the entire ACC season to be meaningless.

    If it helps, think of it as the CFP committee disrespecting the entire ACC. There. Feel better now? :cool:

    Okay...I'm a bit slow, but it just dawned on me what's really going on. ESPN's advertisers did not want another UGA-TCU blowout game with fans turning the game off by halftime when it was already 38-7 (final 65-7). FSU was a risk because its starting QB is out, and they could not be allowed to...
